About the Team

The Notetaker team is building the intelligence layer for live customer conversations. Their mission is to make it effortless for front-office teams to win every meeting and call—across video and voice.

The team owns the full lifecycle of a live conversation: capturing and transcribing conversations with high accuracy, streamlining meeting setup and preparation through deep calendar and workflow integrations, and turning raw dialogue into clear, actionable outcomes. By combining best-in-class transcription with adaptive summaries, follow-ups, and conversation intelligence, Notetaker lets teams focus on the human moment while the system handles everything around it.

About the Role

We’re seeking a Principal Software Engineer to play a pivotal role in shaping the technical future of Notetaker. This role sits at the intersection of real-time systems, distributed infrastructure, and applied AI.

As a Principal Engineer, you will define how live audio/video, transcription, and GenAI-powered insights come together into a reliable, low-latency, production system. You’ll help the team move fast without breaking trust—shipping features that feel magical to users while remaining robust under real-world conditions.
